With that said, even if op was poormaxxing off $20k, he could pick up a part time job and double that easily. $20/hr x 25 hours a week. That's $24,000 a year gross extra.

Why?

They would just not use the $20K figure it was higher.
$20k was the entire basis of this thread...telling me at what income level/net worth they can peace out on the rat race for life.

average miscer $3-5+ million net worth and doesn't count eating out as eating out unless the meal is $100/per person + $30 tip.

my bills can go to under $1,000 month on command. i think i'm good bro.

And for those in the peanut gallery -- don't listen to this person...has no idea what my net worth or income is...probably has a vested interest in keeping people unhappy/in the rat race.

Oh I see. I've read that $1 million liquid in a high yield savings brings in around $40k/yr or so.



He could still pick up a part time job and double that easily. $20/hr x 25 hours a week. That's $24,000 a year gross extra.

so what exactly is your argument? only people struggling in pain with life go pick up their pizza?

And where did I say a dinner box would be the only food I would eat all day? I might eat a bowl of cereal/yogurt for breakfast (I rarely wake up in time to go out for breakfast) and go somewhere like Subway for lunch. my favorite food in the world is southern cookin and I get a meal at those places for $8-10.
So even at $8 a meal you're looking at $7900 just for food. You are correct, I am not good at math, but maybe there's something to your formulas. Maybe they can be used to discover faster than light travel.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I'm just using the numbers you yourself supplied.

If you don't like the results, maybe don't make up numbers out of thin air.
I've been doing this for over a decade with much more intelligent people...your responses are childlike (no offense).

So why say $20k when you spend more than half that just on food? Why lie?

But it wasn't when you started the thread. So were you lying then, or are you lying now?

The numbers I gave are where I feel other people can retire comfortably....I did it too. Now my income is higher. Please go to school or something....if you went to a private school get a refund and show them this thread.

You're dominating the space time continuum with that math. I'm surprised your calculations haven't opened a wormhole and sucked us all into another dimension.

What school can teach me to stretch a medium pizza into 6 meals?

OP does this, but with pizza.

I don't understand OP's logic. As if he's the only guy in NC who paid $173 for his electricity this month, so if he tells us that, we'll be able to backtrace his IP and figure out who he is or something.

i just think down the line, you will run into issues like everyone else, and realize you need more money.

you don't have a safety net for any emergencies, etc.

you are obviously new to being 'retired'

you just seem very naive, just like your views on health lol

This is disingenuous at best. Most people have their dividends and interest automatically reinvested. Then you have capital gains. Like I said earlier, in 2.5 years my net worth has increased $100k. That's AFTER paying all my bills and expenses which is around 30k a year. So I've basically made $70k a year sitting on my ass. It's definitely possible if you're invested correctly. Not to mention that I control how much taxes I pay every year. Wagecucks pay more in taxes than I do, LMFAO.

Lots of poorcel cope in this thread. The numbers don't lie, most people are drowning in debt and live paycheck to paycheck. I'd rather have a million+ and a modest income than working my life away working paycheck to paycheck in perpetual debt. That's not a hard choice...
